Ad slogans and product descriptions awkwardly translated from Korean to English. Sketches from 2001-2002.

Babambar (Babam Bar?) is included in this set of ice cream reviews, where the blogger declares it “the most ‘not delicious’ ice cream bar that I have come across so far”. It’s apparently chestnut flavored, but I’m not sure if the chestnut is either intimate or delightful.

Two-for-one Scott Roberts sketches today. I’m pretty sure he had a gig drawing the Rugrats daily newspaper strip when he did this one.

I found a page which describes this product as a “pure carbon baked potato bar (27G) non-expanded non-fried health portable equipment”. I’m not sure which description I like more.

Steve Peters writes: It’s a surreal experience when an old sketch turns up that is clearly something that you drew, but you have absolutely no recollection of having drawn it. How much more so when you were given such an abstract quote to illustrate!
Steve is the creator/publisher of Awakening Comics, Everwinds, Chemistry, and Sparky, and is the co-creator of The Comicverse, a sci-fi rom-com about a comic book shop in space, which won 3rd place in the 2012 SPACE Prize’s webcomic category. Visit his website here.
I couldn’t find much information about Two Cops. Was it a snack tie-in with this movie? Possibly. At any rate, it seems to have gone on to the great donut shop in the sky.

Alex Robinson claims that he doesn’t remember drawing this, but the kid’s t-shirt brings it all back to me.
There was an Insane Clown Posse merchandise table set up at SPACE in 2001. About an hour after the convention opened, a huge crowd of Juggalos (i.e., the line stretched all the way out the door) filed in, bought t-shirts, and left en masse. The merch guys packed up shortly after. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since.
Afterward, a bunch of cartoonists took over their table and started a big jam comic.
